Fire at Scarborough Faire in Waxahachie Likely Electrical: Officials
•
A fire at the Scarborough Faire in Waxahachie appears to have been caused by an electrical issue, officials say.
Two buildings caught fire at about 4:30 p.m. Tuesday on the grounds where the Scarborough Renaissance Festival is held each year.
Both of the buildings were destroyed, according to festival spokeswoman Helaine Thompson, and three other buildings sustained light to moderate damage.
Thompson said no one was injured.
The Ellis County Fire Marshal's Office says the fire apparently started due to overloaded electrical wires.
